TRY TO UNDERSTAND

Listeners can help me out with something on this one. I'm interested in whether you think I should leave the fade-out as I have it, or if I should reprise back to the chorus and take it out that way. I'm 50/50 on this, and I'm interested in feedback.. Thanks in advance!

===================================
Yes, it's now the day
That I walk away;
You can say that our time has come.
But there's a joy in my heart;
I must make a new start;
Darling, this is good-bye,
But I will never lose our love.

You've been good to me
All you could to me
Isn't anything I would change.
But the future's out there
One of caring and prayer
I must walk it alone, and, babe,
I know it must seem strange.

Wasn't what I planned.
TRY TO UNDERSTAND;
Only then will you see
What this means to me.

He's calling to me:
"Be a man for me!"
Now I must answer the call
To go and serve.

Wasn't what we planned,
TRY TO UNDERSTAND;
Just let time help you trust
What I'll be for us.

He's calling to me:
"Be a man for me!"
Now I must travel the road
To where I'm bound.
Now I must answer the call
To higher ground.

Hmmmm...there are always naysayers on fades but we like them. I think it works but given the "busyness" (not in a bad away) of the guitar it (the fade) might could be extended just a bit to get more in the groove of the guitar leaving. FWIW, etc.

We like the song...nice write and vocal -- both as always!

Cool. That's one smoking solo guitar. Fades... I rarely do them but when used in the right place, they are golden. I didn't hear anything at the end.... so you might have already edited it.

Your voice fits this well. A few pitchy places but all in all, nicely done.

I hope you're staying cool.... because here in central NC it's toasty, and humid.

I agree 100%. Nice use of the horns and strings!


I haven't lost all of my marbles but there is a small hole in the bag someplace!
